Let's say I have a player whose main role is OF, while his attributes clearly make him a very good short stop. Will there be any problems with him playing SS? Will he need a period of adjustment? Also, thank you Steve for all your answers to my noob questions. I really appreciate it.

They'll still primarily be an OFer but will have a secondary ability to play SS. I wonder if that's really feasible though... I think it's more likely that the OFer will develop into a corner infielder.

It's not necessarily the position he would be best suited to play in the long term. The position list (available on lower right side of the player page), lists all the positions that a player is experienced playing (those in upper case have more experience, those in lower case have less experience). A player can gain position experience by playing at that position in any game (including spring training games) which over time will result in the position list expanding or changing. Additionally, with sufficient playing time at another position, a player's primary position can change. This, however, make take as long as a couple of seasons to occur.

Are you really supposed to promote him through the system with age? Yes, it does matter. If you go to the Roster – Reassign Players page, there is a recommendation as to what level he should be at. It’s a product of training, which is loosely related to age, time and the system and where he game from. Let's say I have a player whose main role is OF, while his attributes clearly make him a very good short stop. Will there be any problems with him playing SS? Will he need a period of adjustment? Yes, there will be a “period of adjustment”, but if he has better skills to be a SS, it may be worth playing him there and allowing his position experience to accumulate (especially for younger players). Note, all young players have a period where they will be less than 100% productive while it takes them time to accumulate big league experience. Steve

You may need to be patient and lucky with your timing. Hope this helps
